Someone here just shot a deer with a barnes and didnt get a blood trail, along with another using a Speer gold dot and not getting a blood trail.
(Cough) The member here who just shot the deer with the barnes took a 200 yd shot with a .250 gr Barnes and only 100 gr powder charge. i wouldn't expect any .250 gr bullet not to exit! maybe a 300 gr bullet. as the member stated the terminal damage turned everything to jello.and the gold dot that that your mentioning hit bone going in and out,also turning everything to jello.if either of those deer had been shot with a PB. i am sure both outcomes would have been quite different lol.as for the new PB super bullet, have you or anyone you know actually shot any game with them? or are you just quoting powerbelts sales pitch?
